    Well, 126 pages later - it seems we've a new manager.

    Anyone going to ceremonially post up confirmation of the manager to bring this epic of all threads near a conclusion?

    "Everyone knew all along": if everyone knew this, then why isn't Trappatoni's name on the list of candidates above?
    I say well done to the FAI. If the process had been a short one and if there obviously hadn't been a lot of hostility on the FAI Board to Terry Vegetables, we'd have a potato as a manager.

    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Have to give credit where it's due to the FAI and the 3 Wise Men. Instead of doing what we all expected, and appointing someone after only a few weeks, they held out for the right man and got one of the most exciting appointments in football (club and international) that I can remember.
    I'd like to take back anything bad I ever said about the Dons and Ray.

    Yeah, I know some people won't give them credit because they stumbled on Trapattoni, but they could easily have said to the 3 man committee that they need a decision by early/mid January so that the new man could conduct the fixture negotiation or manage the team for Brazil, but they decided to let it go on instead and it's worked out perfectly. After the new man wasn't in place for those two events I really thought it was going to end badly.
    My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.

    To be honest, I'd see it as that they were ****ed off that they were dilly dallying about, and one of the members on the board themselves used their own contacts and contacted trapatoni, when he showed interest then the 3 man committee jumped on board and interviewed them "to show face" and thats when gio agreed to become manager. Its pretty obvious really if ye read between the lines...

    Was it not Liam Brady that first sounded out Trapattoni?

    And I think a fair assumption that could be made is that Trapattoni interviewed the panel and not vice versa.

    The selection panel was a farce from start to finish but the FAI has made a good appointment so it all ended well.

    I'm sure there's a Paddy Irishman, Paddy Englishman and Paddy Scotsman joke in there somewhere.

    I was just getting off a plane and I heard a fella talking to a lad on a phone. Get your money on Capello. He wants out of England.
    Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?

    Nothing mysterious there, the selection for poll nr 2 was simply based on the top 10 on Paddy Powers list.
    I think a few of us mentioned a Trapp Brady team way back around the 10th or 12th January. At that time he was second fav. for the Bayern job.

    That was a great question that he asked the guys. He did not praise them, he threw out one, as Brian Kerr had said that the FAI were paying too much attention to the RTE Panel. It was a loaded question and a bloody good one. As was the question to Souness about not making the cut. I think Bill O Herlihy is very underated as an anchor man.


    Did anybody hear at end of it that Dunphy says to Souness off air, that he would have supported him as manager. It just as they go to the add break.
